Silent as a tree, rooted to the ground
I am here, waiting for a sound
Sharp wind, and cold rain come down
Silent as a tree, rooted to the ground
What a sad gravestone I must make
Top of the cliff with the weather beaten face
Lifeless ghost, fade away while you wait
What a sad gravestone I must make
Nothing grows here on scorched earth
Hold a vigil to whom I loved first
Stay planted, alone in cursed dirt
Nothing grows, here on scorched earth
Each day eden feels a little more lost
Every cheap night comes to tender its cost
Tropical garden, given to the frost
Everyday eden, feels a little more lost
Alone in the dark with this childish heart
Flatline long time, begging the restart
A masterpiece hidden, suffer for the art
Alone in the dark with this childish heart
For, between there and this, is an infinite abyss
Two inches away is where I sit
So enthralled, seduced by "what if?"
Between there and this, is an infinite abyss
Your voice is faded, warmth long removed
A stubborn hostage, get hurt if I move
This is fools' will, something to prove
My voice faded, warmth long removed
One thousand rooms, filled with patience
I learnt that once, it is my statement
This hilltop is a hospital basement
One thousand rooms, filled with patients.
These words are but notes filtered through a young instrument.
g those last fours in particular, right on. what a clincher if ever there was one.
